5/5 Tyler D. 3 years ago on Google
I'm
a
male,
late
20's
student
at
USF,
and
this
has
been
my
experience:
1)
Rigorous
-
Having
had
a
decent
amount
of
life
experience
before
coming
here,
I
expected
it
to
be
easy.
I
was
wrong.
As
someone
who
has
always
been
good
at
math,
the
math
classes
were
all
challenging
and
required
a
lot
of
time
and
effort
to
do
well
in.
The
same
goes
for
their
science
classes.
I
had
attended
another,
easier
university
before
coming
here,
and
the
difference
was
huge.
2)
Political/Religious
-
Being
a
catholic
university
in
the
middle
of
a
very
liberal
city,
there
is
a
good
chance
that
someone
will
at
some
point
try
to
shove
religion
or
liberal
politics
down
your
throat,
with
a
higher
probability
of
the
latter.
As
someone
who
doesn't
care
for
politics,
I'd
prefer
if
they
were
left
out
of
the
classroom.
3)
Small
class
sizes
-
All
but
one
of
my
classes
have
been
under
30
people,
with
many
being
less
than
20.
There
are
personal,
1-on-1
classes
for
music
lessons
in
guitar,
piano,
vocals,
etc.
There
are
ample
staff
to
handle
any
problem
and
any
and
all
issues
I've
had
were
solved
quickly.
Compare
this
to
a
state
school
with
class
sizes
in
the
100's
and
there
is
really
no
comparison.
4)
Expensive
-
With
an
annual
price
tag
of
about
50k,
plus
the
astronomically
high
San
Francisco
cost
of
living,
it
is
incredibly
expensive
to
go
to
school
here.
I
came
here
largely
because
I
had
a
full-ride
scholarship,
and
would
have
seriously
considered
other
options
if
I
didn't.
5)
Amenities
-
There
are
several
large
libraries,
excellent
quiet
study
areas,
private
music
rooms
with
instruments,
and
the
campus
itself
is
quite
beautiful.
With
the
tuition
comes
a
free
public
transit
card
and
gym
access,
at
a
very
nice
gym.
6)
Overall
quality
-
The
quality
of
the
school
overall
is
very
high.
I
can't
say
how
it
compares
to
the
likes
of
top
schools
like
Stanford,
but
many
of
USF's
professors
have
come
from
those
big
name
schools.
The
combination
of
talented,
intelligent
professors
and
personal
1-on-1
attention
make
it
a
great
place
to
learn
and
study.
